About the Book

The West Highland Way is Scotland's most popular long-distance walk, running 96 miles (155 km) from Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, through its first National Park, across the western Highlands to the foot of its highest mountain, Ben Nevis. This sixth edition of the popular rucksack-friendly guidebook has been revised for 2024 with various updates. It contains all you need to plan and enjoy one of the world's finest walks. It includes detailed route descriptions with altitude profiles; background on Loch Lomond, history and wildlife; detailed mapping of the entire route at 1:42,500; practical information about transport and travel; lavishly illustrated with 120 colour photos; and printed on rainproof paper.

About the Author :
Jacquetta Megarry is a professional author who turned publisher in 2000 when she created the Rucksack Reader format to meet the needs of long-distance walkers. The West Highland Way was her first long-distance walk and it remains her favourite among Scottish walks. She has completed it end-to-end several times and revisits parts of it repeatedly.

Review :
This [5th edition] differs from earlier Rucksack Readers we’ve seen in being rather slimmer and with the spiral binding down the side rather than across the top. In our view both these changes make it even more usable. … The walk is broken down into seven sections, each with detailed large scale mapping commissioned specifically for the book and clear, detailed route instructions. The result is a book that gives the walker everything they need in one place and at their fingertips. Combine the quality of the content with beautiful presentation and good colour photography throughout and the end result is a book that’s a pleasure to use – or just to browse – and an essential companion for anyone wanting to tackle the West Highland Way. This was my choice to take with me on my recent walk … I had also read the Official Guide but left that at home. The Rucksack Reader was just great to keep in the front pocket of my rucksack and I could sit at the lunch-break reading the section for the day to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. When walking the West Highland Way, this book was my bible. With its drop-down map, lots of information on history, geology and wildlife and masses of photos, it’s all you need in one handy package. The waterproof paper is a great idea. I’ve used my book twice in all weathers (in 2003 and 2007), and it’s still in good condition. Don’t leave home without it.
